What is a Astronomy?

NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory has helped discover hundreds of black holes previously buried, which will help astronomers get a more accurate census of black holes in the universe

NASA mission has discovered a second Earth-sized, rocky planet within the habitable zone of its star -- the range of distances where liquid water could occur on a planet's surface

A partial lunar eclipse would occur on the intervening night of October 28 and 29 and it will be visible in India

Scientists reported Friday that this black hole is 10 times more massive than our sun. And it's three times closer than the previous record-holder.

Astronomers have discovered the heaviest element ever found in an exoplanet atmosphere barium

The deal signed by NASA and Space Exploration Technologies Corp. called for collaborating on a feasibility study of such a mission, though NASA has yet to commit to such a flight.

Astronomers have assembled the largest-ever compilation of high-precision galaxy distances, called Cosmicflows-4.

Using the Atacama Large Millimeter/sub millimeter Array (ALMA), astronomers have spotted signs of a 'hotspot' that helps us better understand the enigmatic environment of our supermassive black hole

Jupiter's opposition occurs every 13 months, making the planet appear larger and brighter than any other time of the year

All astronomers concur that planets are created in the bands of gas and dust but it has been challenging to observe genuine planetary birth and development in these settings

Indian astronomers have added another feather to their cap as they have recently made two new discoveries -- an exoplanet 1.4x the size of Jupiter and a rare class of radio stars hotter than the Sun.

Two planets orbit the poles while another revolves around the star's equator, suggesting a mysterious force

This theoretical planet could be taking between 10,000 and 20,000 Earth years for one full revolution around the Sun
